Oh, sorry....em......I´m not Turkish, in case it isn´t obvious how little I know. I´m Khareidi, and B"H is acronymous for Barukh HASHEM, which for religious Jews is Praise THE NAME, which is one main word we call G-D because the name is so holy we are not to pronounce it. B"H is like saying Alhamdulillah, for anyone here who is Muslim, or I guess, for a Christian like saying, Thank G-D, but is a more appropriate response to attribute all good from G-D.

Ummm sorry but now I am even more confused than I was before. I will go with my own interpretations.

Anyone here familiar with the Ashkenazi custom of wearing wigs to cover the hair for purposes of modesty?
I have known quite a few ladies in New York who wear the sheitel....and I must say it is very difficult to distinguish them from natural hair. I think that is actually counter the purpose of wearing them.
For those not in the know about sheitels....they have to be Kashrut as well...not just any wig will do.

Actually yes. I think that some people´s hair can actually take away all of their attractiveness, they should be allowed to unveil because they only make themselves more attractive putting it on
Awww you had to bring it up. yes, I was supposed to colour my hair tonight but got stcuk on TC and Facebook  and jewel quest arrrggghhh
regrading those wigs - I´ve seen a talk-show about orthodox Jews in Poland and the woman there had such a wig. I was surprised because it was the first time I´d heard about it. Quite a strange idea - covering your hair under other hair. The upside is you may change the haircolour as often as you please The downside is it seems like you were cheating God´s order

Well, I know that in the more conservative areas of Turkey, you can go to a photographer with your headscarf, and get a picture for your ID with hair! No, they don´t take off their headscarf (after all, its not only the photographer who sees it, but all those who ask for your id-card), no, they dont put on a wig... They PHOTOSHOP hair OVER your headscarf! Walk in any photography-shop in Konya and I bet you can get pictures made with any kind of hair you like

Hmmm....I don´t know what to say about this one....where there is a will there is a way...so they say. I must say it is a clever use of technology......but again, who are they fooling?
